Has anybody recently been in a 900 division?!

I've played trumpet for 8 years and will be saying so when asked at boot camp. What is the audition like??

I am not sure, my son was in a 900 division, but was in "flags" not music, even though he played in honor band in school. They never asked him to audition for the band part, just put hm on flags.

Do you know if he liked it? I know they do extra work than the other recruits but is there a better bond with the RDC? Are they as mean as other RDCs or are they more lenient?

Well, he said it really didnt make anything any easier if thats what you are asking...was actually harder as more work and didnt give you anything like extra perks. And yes, the RDC's are NOT any easier on you just cause you are in a 900 division. The fact was they wanted you to be MORE perfect...

RDCs are harder on 900 divisions than other divisions. They expect perfection. 900 doesn't get any special privileges and works a lot harder than any other division in boot camp.

Should I assume there's no getting out of 900 since I'm an MU? (i.e. the RDCs will already know that I can play an instrument?)
